Annotation notes:
Wind instruments are indicated in every staff system in which they play using the above abbreviations.
An instrument plays the indicated part throughout the system unless otherwise indicated. If an instru-
ment’s abbreviation is written above a multi-part staff (e.g. “Clarinetti”), the instrument plays the top
part of that staff; if below, the instrument plays the bottom part.
Timpani, glockenspiel, and string parts are unchanged from the original.
